College in New York last week, but they were both on the negative side. ,In losing to C.C,N.Y. in Madiscin Square Garden, 90-55, the Mountaineers suffered th e worst defeat by a Patton-coach ed team since West Point plas tered them, 73-49',.in 1945. The second record showed that last week's game *as the poorest Garden showing for the 'lYlotin taineers since DePaul trounced the Pattonmen in the 1945 N.I.T. Coach Gross has already upset the once-mighty Gold and Blue team. in the Dixie Classic during Christmas vacation.'lt seems that not even the veteran combina tion of Joe Duff and. Ed Beach could, keep • the Mounts from having one of their most dis astrous seasons in recent years. vorsity 'S' in football, socctr, ice .oops The times in the Washington Star meet Saturday night were terrific. The milers were ap proaching' and breaking the world's records. The relay teams were slicing seconds off every available mark and the two milers were approaching the times of their foreign competitors. Suddenly someone measured the track. It Was 53 feet off! The bificials went into a confab, and after an hour's debate decided to hre() the course as it was but to add time to each event. Jim Gehrdes' time of 8.4, sec onds for the 70-yard high hurdles accepted as a new track mark, but every distance over 100 yards was discounted. One' official said, "In ,my' 53 years of running this event I've never seen anything like this." One consolatioh is that the new_ world's record for the /s of mile and the mile and 'Vs *as established and they should stand for a long, long time. Stiff No Snow It looks like \ the weatherman just doesn't want •to co-operate with ski Coach Shertn Fogg. Last week this notice appear ed on the Ree Hall ski bulletin board, "Ski meet at Paul Smith's cancelled! Let's continue to pray for snow. Maybe we can get some by next week. Keep working." Some, of the members 1 0f the team, chafing at the bit from the lack O action, added • a few lines to the",notice. • The first stated, "Weatheiman'S report: No snow for the month of Januarjr." The second was, "Crying towels available , in' locker room." But the third took the prize. It Was a notice calling a _prayer meeting for all scivad members in Sherm's office nightly at 5:00 p.m. . And while the snowless skiers look skyward, they continue their deep knee bends and push ups in anticipation of the white matter which will give them a charxce for some competition before spring.

Fresh from Wednesday's, 74 to 54, win over American 0., the Nittany passers will be shooting toward their seventh victory in 11 starts. To date Pitt has accum ulated a two won and five lost record. Tonight's battle may turn into a personal scoring dual between the Lions' 6-foot 6-inch Marty Costa and George McCrossin, 6-foot, 170-pound Panther cap tain. HOT HAND McCrossin registered 35 points in his team's 84 to 51 conquest of Grove City Wednesday night to approach within two of the all-time Panther mark of 37 es tablished by Dodo Conterna. Cos ta's 32 points set the Rec Hall all-time, individual standard the same night. Once the Lions get the' ball into ,scoring position, Costa's hopes , of outscoring his smaller rival will center 'mainly on the accurate passing of 'The Tocci, Lou Lamie and Hardy Williams. Wednesday, Coach Elmer Gross had h 1 fast break working to perfection as Tocci, Williarris and Lamie consistently got the down flOor jump on a tall American U. outfit. Penn State. should rate the nod in backboard superiority to night only four Pitt dribblers reaching the 6Afoot 3-inch mark. Of these four only one, Ted Ger emsky, has had previous varsity experience.

Carlson is one of the most colorful mentors in the game to day and his friendly feud with John Lawther, former Lion men tor, frequently turned the spec tators attention • froth the ball game to their bench maneuvers. Penn State-Pitt court relations are knotted at 35-all but in the time that Carlson- has wielded the whip the Jungle Cats have copped 29 while losing only 19. Gross has been alternating be tween Williams and Jay McMa han in the last three games and •at the ,moment the 6-foot 6-inch McMahan appears to be in line for the starting role.
